Gosh, don't you just hate infighting? Unless of course, it's an enemy.

A Russian Mercenary Oligarch has to know what happens in the end

This guy has balls (and probably an elite unit of mercenaries protecting his every movement every day). I can't imagine speaking out against Putin unless you knew you were 100% unreachable.

The warlord is looking to defenestrate himself.

And you thought the Imperial Japanese Military's inter-service rivalry was bad. I wonder if this will result in similar turmoil for Russia.

Read the headline as “Putin’s genitals explode” and needed a moment to collect myself before clicking the link…

The CIA guy and the retired major general aren't even trying to hide their excitement. "Fuck yeah go kill each other!".

Yeah I think people forget that even though Russia maybe corrupt, it still has different areas of government handling different tasks/functions. Which has their own responsibilities, & people who are heads of such.

Putin has a lot of say in things, but functionally the tasks are divided much like ours.

It was really stupid for Putin to allow someone to have their own private army.

He better be reeeeaaaalllly careful for the next little while. Too many windows, stairs, and balconies to conveniently fall from.

True, but this comes as part of a series of public shakeups from Prigozhin in just the last few months.

Technically (and legally), he isn't even allowed to acknowledge that Wagner is even in Ukraine at all, yet here he is using social media to publicly badmouth the military and take credit for gains in the war.

I cannot even imagine what it’s like being a Russian Gen Z right now.

Not at all. That private army focuses Putin's enemies in one spot. He then uses that mercenary army to do the dirtiest and most dangerous work. They die in droves. Putin gets to eliminate opponents and use them for his own ends at the same time.

Yeah, the art of War really is cliffs notes about warfare.

Don't have time to get a PhD in warfare and augment that with 20 years of experience and hard learned lessons? Read these fortune cookie tidbits Instead! You'll be an expert in no time! /s

/s because The Art of War is quite excellent. And I know the "fortune cookie tidbits" might come across as racist, but that was meant not meant to mock the Chinese or Chinese Culture (fortune cookies are an Americanism anyway) , it was meant mock people who look at The Art of War as cheesy "foreigner" soundbites that can be easily disregarded (its not, thus I mock them).

My point is that, (a) despite how good the art of war is, it's meant to augment a life long learning quest on the topic, not supplant it and (b) some people do consider it cheesey, disposable, "fortune cookie" quality junk, which it certainly is not.

Nice, the more they destruct themselves, the less they can devastate Ukraine.

Is anyone worried about a potential coup with Russia? I know no one is a fan of Putin. But, what if there is worse? Someone who would’ve used nukes after the first month? That kind of person exists…

It just seems like we’ve been here before.. fighting a bad guy to have them replaced with someone worse.. first examples that comes to mind is Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Nicaragua, you know…

The first time I read that headline, I would have sworn it said "Russian warlord's feud with Putin's genitals explodes into the open".

Now that would have been an interesting story.

I think pootin let's it slide because as a dictator, you never want one faction to get too powerful. By having the armed forces in one camp and Wagner in another it creates some checks and balances for him. I also read that Wagner received the ammo they needed after this very public complaint. So I guess the system is working? Only cost several hundred/thousand russian lives in the process. 🤷‍♂️

When Putin finally dies, Prigozhin is going to be first in line to try and seize power in the vacuum, with his Nazi mercenary army to support those endeavors.
